Forum for Epiphytic Myrmecophytes

I am OK with you DERRICK  for the petiole,  so it is not a H.mamberamoense

 

may be then a new specie ?

 

if that had been possible, I would like to see a section of the flower (ring of hair-anthers and stigma position ) and also know (which is easier) the number of seeds in the drupe.

 

ELISABETH this plant looks very interesting :wub:

It seems that H. auridemens may become a variety of H. petiolatum if the Jebb & Huxley revision is ever published. This is from Chomicki et al., support information. He obviously has access to the unpublished manuscript.

I have added huge volumes of data to Epiphytic Myrmecophytes: Bizarre Wonders of Nature. 2019.

Currently I am working on chapter 9 Hydnophytum. It alone contains over 88,000 kilobytes of data and images.

H. auridemens Jebb & C. R. Huxley in press. Replaces manuscript name H. missima (sic.) H. petiolatum var. auridemens in press.

Description. Tuber irregular, often containing rainwater. Bract hairs orange-brown, dark brown when wet. Habitat/Range. High-level epiphyte at 300-400 m (984-1312 ft.) in lower tropical forest to lower montane open forest, on south slopes of Mt Sisa, Misima Island, Louisiade Archipelago, Milne Bay Province, Papua New Guinea.

Errata. One collection is mislabeled Hydnophytum aundemens  Jebb 395, 1983 in http://www.pngplants.org/ database.
